http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=272, ughhh.
I got to Menethil, somehow got lost in Arathi Highlands.. Figure I should had taken the path to the right, so I go back and go through the tunnels. Then I persistently try to get that mean dwarf lady to let me pass through the closed gates. Start going back to figure out there was a path to the right..
Somehow I wind up in Ironforge, fell down the gaps at least ten times.. Wasn't sure which tram to take since I was scared I'd wind up somewhere I didn't want to (didn't know they all led to Stormwind). I finally take the tram, enter Stormwind. NOW the real horrors began, I got stuck in the canals and couldn't for the love of everything jump back to the land. So I log out since I was so frustrated.
Next day I managed to get out, then proceed to get lost around the gnoll infested area in Elwynn. Make my way to the west.. of Westfall, got killed a few times by the murlocs and then started to search for that damn anchor. Right when I saw it (and boy I was happy), I got attacked by some elite shark.. great. Then I finally found the chest with the pendant! I was so nervous something would happen that I FIRST hearthed, and THEN teleported to Moonglade. :P
Seriously, nightmare of a quest for a fresh new player that doesn't know of sites like Wowhead.Oh and since my hearthstone was on cooldown when I was in Moonglade, I tried to take the path through the Timbermaw tunnel thinking it would lead me to Darkshore.. DANG that furbolg scared the willies out of me when he popped behind the corner, chasing me. Can't tell you how much this post reminded me of the first time I did that quest. :P
Took me a couple hours to figure out which people I was supposed to talk to to find the two pieces of the pendant. Then I spent a day or more looking ALL OVER DARKSHORE to find the first piece. And at the time, I was still very unfamiliar with most places in-game. I had never been to Westfall before, never even been off of Kalimdor before. So I can't tell you how difficult it was to get that second piece.
Oh, and seconding the Timbermaw Hold experience. :3 Except I did it when I first entered the Moonglade. Decided to go explore the whole place. Went into that little cave around the other side of the lake , then went up the other path towards Timbermaw Hold.
Got scared outta my pants when I saw the Skull level horde , but was confused about why he didn't kill me on sight. So I ran up to him to see if he'd kill me if I got closer, but he still didn't. So I ran up and wacked him with my staff and got insta-pwned.
Then I rezzed and went up the path further and got chased by the Timbermaw bear at the entrance to the tunnel. Almost had a heart attack. :D Aaah.. good times. Goooood times...
